Re: Ind/Hou/LA

It's rumored that a deal is close between LA and Houston involving Gasol. But they're looking for a third team with a pg. So here's my idea:

Pacers give DC, get KMart

Houston gives KMart, Scola, get Gasol

LA gives Gasol, get Scola, DC

Houston might have to throw a pick to LA too, LA gets their pg and a starting 4, Houston gets Gasol, Pacers get their scorer off the bench and allows GHill to start.

When I first heard that Houston was pushing hard for Gasol and there was not a deal yet, I thought they were looking for a third team to get involved to get LA a PG. Great idea overall, but I don't love KMart. It would probably make us a more talented team, but I don't love taking on his contract for what he would give us. I think we would want a first from someone in this deal for taking on so much money.

Re: Ind/Hou/LA

I would be looking to add Jordan Hill if I am Larry Bird. I think our second rounder could probably get him. He has never been on a team with solid veteran leadership and he is a crazy athletic big. Something we lack. He can play some center minutes. I would give them our first this year if they threw in Courtney Lee and the lesser of Patrick Patterson or Marcus Morris. They have Goran Dragic, who I think has potential if given an opportunity.

I would love to make a deal with Houston on some of their guys they didn't resign. Unless the Rockets are planning on signing them all I just don't see what they are doing by rescinding their team options on a few of these kids. Oh well. There lies opportunity in Houston, IMO. We might be able to parlay some of our guys elsewhere in a salary dump move for a LT team. Think JO for Dahntay type of move where we cut salary from next year, but it cuts huge LT penalties for this year for the other side.
